Octopus have this autumn given us some "powerhours", where all your electricity is free.
We had four hours worth in each of weeks one two and three, and six hours last week. They say these powerhours, which they tell you about the day before, will continue for "at least a year".
You use as much electricity as you want/can in those times, and they credit the bill. Each hour, we get about a fiver back I guess, so it all adds up.
They've just also said they will be doing the National Grid "powersaving" hours as well that most companies offer, where you get paid back if you use less than your average use for that particular hour on previous periods. So that will be another bit back if we are able to reduce power during those times, though probably not a lot.
And finally, they this week launched their latest EV offer. If you lease an Atto Dolphin from them (I know), you get a free charger and you also get all your at home EV charging for free. I rather bet the lease price isn't that competitive though.
Can't be bad, all in all, really, when you remember they offer six hours at 7.5p per night which covers the whole house. If you plug your EV in to charge outside those times, they sometimes also give you other hours outside and in addition to the core ones at 7.5p, and that covers the whole house too.
